Fred again.. Sees the Silver Lining With New “Actual Life 3” Single, “Bleu (better with time)”
Stepping into a critical career juncture, Fred again.. is telegraphing better days ahead with his new single, “Bleu (better with time).” True to the producer’s underground house flair that has taken the electronic music community by storm, the track excels in sparking a groove with straightforward, catchy and melodic production. While “Bleu” is often minimal in its production, the latest brick in Fred’s Actual Life 3 album saga is more evidence he’s owning a lane that is uniquely his own. The light and airy constitution of “Bleu” is driven by feathery synths, which are buoyed by distorted vocal swirls and pumping drums. Lyrically, the track forecasts a tepidly optimistic outlook by way of a sticky, memorable hook. Check out the off...
Flume and Chrome Sparks Produced Sycco’s Latest Cosmic Bop, “Ripple”: Listen
Australian singer-songwriter and producer Sycco has collaborated with Flume and Chrome Sparks. The resulting single, “Ripple,” is about to have you hooked. Maximalist at its heart, “Ripple” is a whimsical electronica concoction swirling with elements of hyperpop and drum and bass. Some of its synths sound straight out of a magic wand. Pillowy chords and pitches make you want to close your eyes and float away, but when the striking sounds of its percussion break through, you find yourself on solid ground. Shining through this sonic interplay of hard and soft, Sycco’s cosmic vocals take front and center—a memorable element that caught Flume’s attention when he was in the studio creating the beat. “I was doing a session in LA wit...
bad tuner’s Must-Listen EP Is Timeless Dance Music at Its Best
We’ve found the special type of project that can only be described as refreshingly fresh; the types of timeless cuts you’d envision dusted off from the depths of a Bushwick vinyl haunt, labeled “unavailable” when you hunt for them on Shazam. If you don’t already know Brooklyn bedroom producer bad tuner, with his new EP back to my <3, it’s time to get familiar. Released September 23rd via LG105, the EP is an atmospheric ode to sunset-to-sunrise Saturdays, capturing the spirit of an all-night clubbing affair in just four tracks. One song, “oxygen,” was the result of a hunt for vocalists on TikTok. Another, “no peace,” was inspired by Frankie Knuckles, the “Godfather of House Music.” It’s this knowing...

Armin van Buuren Taps Iconic Songwriter Diane Warren for New Single, “Live On Love”: Listen
Following his heart and continuously challenging the electronic music status quo, Armin van Buuren has released “Live On Love.” After employing an array of AI tech for the techno smash “Computers Take Over The World” and even releasing a guided meditation earlier this summer, it seemed no ground was left untouched for the “A State of Trance” creator. But van Buuren’s latest endeavor finds him linking up a legendary songwriter, Diane Warren, to produce a rare and poignant love song. While van Buuren has worked with countless high-profile artists over the course of his storied career, “Live On Love” is perhaps one of his biggest. Having penned nine #1 hits and 32 Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100—including Celine Dion’s “Because You Lo...
Malaa and DJ Snake Reunite for Gritty House Track With Yung Felix, “Deep”
With anonymity comes many questions—but Malaa silences them with each and every new release. The latest record from the masked house music superstar is “Deep,” a collaboration with Yung Felix and French compatriot DJ Snake. It’s the last single to drop ahead of Malaa’s long-awaited debut album, Don Malaa, due out next week. “Deep” is dark, rhythmic and down-and-dirty house music at its finest. The new single opts for a more soulful sound than its predecessor, the gritty G-House banger “Hypnotic.” Nevertheless, it’s representative of signature Malaa: a bona fide club record oozing with the panache of a dance music flag-bearer. Scroll to Continue Recommended Articles Don Malaa is slated to release on Friday, September ...
Listen to GRiZ’s Dreamy Mixtape, “Chasing The Golden Hour, Pt. 4”
Just in time for the burst of fall’s vibrant colors, GRiZ has dropped the fourth installment of his Chasing The Golden Hour mixtape series. Following the release of two singles: the airy” Your Light” and last week’s disco-inspired “On a High,” Chasing The Golden Hour, Pt. 4 is here in full. It’s been a long two years since Vol. 3, and it’s clear GRiZ took the time to hone his classic funk roots, resulting in a masterful record replete with dreamy sound design. “I wanted to recreate the carefree good vibes you feel when it’s just about sunset on the perfect summer evening and everything is the most beautiful shimmering tint of gold,” GRiZ said in a press statement. “Chasing The Golden Hour is that magical moment, it is the c...
First Stream: New Music From Lil Nas X, Sam Smith & Kim Petras, Joshua Bassett and More
Billboard’s First Stream serves as a handy guide to this Friday’s most essential releases — the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond. This week, Lil Nas X plugs in with a new anthem, Sam Smith shakes up their formula with Kim Petras’ help and Joshua Bassett continues his evolution. Check out all of this week’s First Stream picks below: Lil Nas X, “Star Walkin’ (League of Legends Worlds Anthem)” “Star Walkin’” may exist thanks to a partnership with enormous multiplayer video game franchise League of Legends (which also helped produce the Imagine Dragons top 10 hit “Enemy” earlier this year), but Lil Nas X’s 2022 World Championship anthem is far from a corporate stopgap for the superstar: the single sit...
SG Lewis Announces Sophomore Album, Celebrates With New Double Single
Big updates from SG Lewis, who this week announced the name and release date of a forthcoming double album: AudioLust & HigherLove. To celebrate, the Brit has also released a double A-side single with two of the project’s tracks. When paired together, they provide an uncanny tease of the album’s overall concepts: lust, love and the gray areas—or dance floors—between. First up is “Vibe Like This” (with Lucky Daye and Ty Dolla $ign), a pop slow-burner that could pass off readily as an unreleased cut off Funk Wav Bounces Vol 2. Toes will tap and heads will nod as this song elevates from a twinkling piano melody into a potent blend of vocal charisma. “Been around the world, I did / Never felt a vibe like this,” Daye and Dolla $ign croon o...
NGHTMRE’s “DRMVRSE” Album Is a Hallucinogenic Matrix: “We’re About to Send You On the Craziest Trip of Your Life”
No blue pill or red pill can replicate the mind-bending matrix of NGHTMRE‘s DRMVRSE. NGHTMRE released his long-awaited debut studio album on September 9th after eight years of cranking out hits such as “REDLIGHT” and “GUD VIBRATIONS.” The album is just one bright star in the deep expanse of DRMVRSE. The cinematic project is a methodical piece of fiction with music, animation and narrative components—and that’s just scratching the planet’s surface. DRMVRSE tells the story of a fictional NeuroTech company that discovers a sonic frequency called “Unsound,” leading users through gateways to other physical planes of existence. A DMT-dose of portal-jumping and epic battles are the status quo inside NGHTMRE’s playground. “It s...
IMANU Ushers In a Creative Reset With Stunning Debut Album, “Unfold”
Few artists would opt to switch up their process ahead of their debut album, but IMANU‘s creative reset is paying dividends. IMANU’s album has been in the making for some time as he began writing it just a few months into the pandemic. “I had to find a way out of the boring routine,” explained on Twitter. “I stayed with my parents for a few months, occupying their spare attic room and bought a new laptop and pair of headphones, just trying to find new ways to be productive. This fresh start brought me a creativity which enabled me to write music like i had never done before…” That decision would go on to have tremendous downstream impacts. Processing Unfold now in full, the effort is an all-encompassing, multi-genre project that particula...
